United States box office records

Box office is the revenue produced by a film while in theaters. All records here are for the United States and Canada together, a market known as the North American box office and the domestic box office,[1][2][3] and where gross is defined in US dollars.

Due to different ways of measuring film revenue, there are various record holders, depending on the time period over which the revenue was measured, and whether or not the revenue is adjusted for inflation.
